Device error archive
First Claim
1. An imaging device, comprising:
- a processor adapted to compile error information when an error is detected, wherein the error is based on one or more imaging device processes;
a print engine coupled to the processor and adapted to produce tangible output images; and
a storage device coupled to the processor, wherein the storage device is a computer-usable medium and where the processer is adapted to store in the storage device the error information for two or more errors for one or more of transmission, retrieval, and disposal of the error information based on user criteria;
wherein the error information stored by the processor in the storage device is selectable from two or more of a location where the error occured, a type of error detected, a program address where the error occured, contents of the file being processed when the error occured, sequence of events that led up to the error, type of file being processed when the error occured, size of the file being processed when the error occured, a page number, an error code, and a stack trace.

Abstract
A method of error archiving for an imaging device is provided. The method includes monitoring system operations for the imaging device, and when an error is detected, compiling information about the error into an error file for one or more of storage, transmission, retrieval, and disposal. In addition, an imaging device including error archiving is provided. The imaging device includes a processor adapted to compile error information when an error is detected, a storage device coupled to the processor and adapted to store the error information for one or more of transmission, retrieval, and disposal of the error information based on user criteria, and a print engine coupled to the processor and adapted to produce tangible output images.

8. A method of error archiving for an imaging device, comprising:
-
monitoring system operations for the imaging device; and when an error is detected, compiling information about the error into an error file stored on a storage device of the imaging device for one or more of storage, transmission, retrieval, and disposal; wherein the storage device is a computer-usable medium; wherein the information about two or more errors is stored in the error file; and wherein the information about each error stored on the storage device is configurable and includes two or more of a location where the error occured, a type of error detected, a program address where the error occured, contents of the file being processed when the error occured, sequence of events that led up to the error, type of file being processed when the error occured, size of the file being processed when the error occured, and a stack trace. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform a method of error archiving for an imaging device comprising:
-
monitoring system operations of the imaging device; and when an error is detected, compiling information about the error into an error file and storing it on a storage for one or more of storage, transmission, retrieval, and disposal; wherein the storage device is a computer-usable medium associated with the imaging device; wherein the information for two or more errors is stored in the error file; and wherein the information about each error stored by the processor on the storage device is selected and includes two or more of a location where the error occured, a type of error detected, a program address where the error occured, contents of the file being processed when the error occured, sequence of events that led up to the error, type of file being processed when the error occured, size of the file being processed when the error occured, a page number, an error code, and a stack trace. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
